DSDT is thrilled to announce the 5th Anniversary of our annual Summer Studio Residency program, featuring Tammy Johnson and Larry Arrington! The 210 Studio Residency, now in it's 5th year, is an experiment in supporting Bay Area artists in need of space to make their work. In these lean times for the arts, DSDT is happy to be able to make a rare offer of rehearsal space, performance opportunities, peer support and professional feedback from Artistic Director Deborah Slater. The residency is intended as a vehicle for emerging artists to hone their skills, experiment, and dive into making performance. We're thrilled to host two fantastic Bay Area artists who are working - through two different strains of cultural research - on the urgent political question of how we creatively declare the worth of our bodies.
Johnsons Aiwa! Is the second work in a suite of performances on the theme of healing from systems of oppression (the first being 2015s How is Your Heart?), particularly the trauma caused by state-sponsored murder of women of color and the social indifference to their plight. Aiwa is the arabic word for yes, and Johnsons latest work is grounded in bellydances Berber origins through song, the playing of a Daf drum, Assuit costuming, and a Zar-based North African ritual called El Genneyya, which is used primarily by women to gain relief from spirits through rhythmic movements.
Arringtons We (solo) is a study of the peculiar conditions of the techno-mediated world we are living in. It examines the effects of alienation from the corporeal context as an extension of patriarchys insistence on the separation of man and nature (woman, other, spirit, technology). Beyond critique, it is an excavation into the ruptures of long-held notions of personhood. We (solo) considers what we mean when we say body.
The 210 studio is an intimate space with only approximately 40 seats.
